March 1, 2015 Second Sunday of Lent LISTEN AND FOLLOW

“This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” And listen they did. From that moment on, Peter, James, and John were ardent followers, forsaking everything to follow in their Master’s footsteps. Like the psalmist crying, “O Lord, I am your servant,” the three disciples committed themselves to lives of incredible hardship and indescribable joy. After that day on the mountain, they never again wavered in their chosen vocation.

Though our tests may not be as severe as Abraham’s and our peak experiences not as dramatic as the Transfiguration, we all face the daily challenges of walking “before the Lord in the land of the living.” As we follow our varied calls to love and serve, let’s be comforted by Paul’s reminder to the Romans: “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. ESCUCHA Y SIGUE

“Este es mi Hijo amado; escúchenlo”. Y sí que lo escucharon. Desde ese momento, Pedro, Santiago y Juan fueron sus ardientes seguidores, desechándolo todo para seguir las huellas del Maestro. Tal como proclama el salmista, “Señor, he aquí tu servidor”, los tres discípulos se comprometieron a vidas de increíbles penurias e indescriptible gozo. Después de ese día en la montaña, nunca más dudaron de la vocación escogida.

Aunque nuestras pruebas no sean tan severas como la de Abraham, ni nuestros momentos sublimes tan dramáticos como la Transfiguración, todos confrontamos los retos cotidianos de caminar “en presencia del Señor en el país de la vida”. Mientras seguimos nuestros diversos llamados a amar y servir, seamos confortados por lo que Pablo les recuerda a los romanos: “Si Dios está a nuestro favor, ¿quién estará en contra nuestra?” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The sacrifice of Abraham, our father in faith (Genesis 22:1-2, 9a, 10-13, 15-18). Psalm — I will walk before the Lord, in the land of the living (Psalm 116). Second Reading — If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31b-34). Gospel — Jesus was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white (Mark 9:2-10).

POPE FRANCIS WANTS OUR INPUT ON THE ROLE OF FAMILIES

TODAY! In preparation for the Synod of Bishops to be held in October 4–25, 2015 on “The Vocation and Mission of the Family in the Church and Contemporary World,” Pope Francis has asked the world’s bishops for a “broad consultation.” Specifically, the Vatican has asked for responses to a set of 46 questions. In order to facilitate the response from the Archdiocese to the Vatican, you are invited to respond to the set of those same questions on-line at the following website link: http://survey.la-archdiocese.org We at St. Dominic Savio have been asked to distribute this consultation as widely as possible. Individual as well as organized group responses are acceptable responses to this consultation. Responses are to be made by Monday, March 9 in order to be included in the report that the Archdiocese will present to the United States Catholic Conference. Thank you for your time and interest in this consultation. Let us pray together for the greater proclamation of the Gospel and its reception among us on Christian family.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Within the tradition of the Christian church, there are differing ways of observing a Lenten fast. For Eastern Catholics and Orthodox, the discipline is close to our understanding of “abstinence.” Certain foods are eliminated from the diet entirely. The rules are basically monastic rules, and the customs of a monastery table are embraced in the home. This year, “Meatfare Sunday” is February 26, and it is the last time that meat is admitted to the diet until Easter. The following Sunday, known as “Cheesefare Sunday,” takes cheese and all dairy products from the table. It is also known as “forgiveness Sunday” because a true fast is about crowning life with love, holding back harsh words, and cutting off anger. The Eastern churches fast even from celebrating the Eucharist from Monday through Friday. We don’t count Sundays as fast days, but Eastern Christians fast through the weekends. People are expected to come as close to the ideal as possible, and the Lenten services keep reminding them not to take pride in their fasting, since the devil himself never eats! What’s left on the menu? Grains, vegetables, eggs (maybe), and fish. Imagine the joys of the Easter table after such a fast! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. A NEW IDEA Everybody thinks of changing humanity; nobody thinks of changing themselves. —Leo Tolstoy

THE ART OF LISTENING If you want God to listen to you when you pray, shouldn’t you listen to God when God speaks to you? —Anonymous
